I've gone through several guns over the years that were'nt good enough to keep and wound up selling/trading them all off.
The worst one was probably the first handgun I owned, a Jennings/Bryco in 9mm. The triggerguard was purposely designed large enough for 2 fingers on the trigger (with a 2 handed grip) and it seemed like it needed room for a couple more. Probably had a 20 lb. trigger pull. Looking back on it, I learned a lot as a new shooter. After getting used to that horrible trigger pull, every decent gun I've owned since has made me look pretty good.

Browning buckmark. I'm sure it was was just a case of a lemon but it was an awful gun. Bought it, cleaned and lubed it, fired it. Slide gouged the heck out of the frame. Took it back they said they would not take it back because I obviously did something wrong. I finally got them to take it back after we took it apart and started doing some measuring and the machining was way off.

TZ-75 stainless in 9mm/41ae barrel, the tooling was so bad it look like they cut the slide and frame rails with a chainsaw. I had Bruce gray work on it but it was never right. I wish it had been, I love the cz model and while its dead now, I really liked the 41ae and the modular concept.... Damn 40sw...never bought another stainless semi

Walther P-22. Picked one of these up a few years ago and could not get through a single magazine without jamming. Tried every type of ammo out there and just would not run. Sold it after the first week with full disclosure.

This is easy; a Weatherby PA-08 12ga shotgun. On only the 2nd time out the trigger mechanism (a completely cheezy plastic set-up) completely broke and left me with no gun. I emptied out the gun, and I was so completely irate I threw it against a block wall....the stock flew off, the barrel bent, it was in like 4 pieces and I did NOT care and still don't. Put the pieces in the trash and set it to the curb. No remorse here, pc. of cheap garbage anyway.

Mine was a taurus pt111 pro. Nothing wrong with the guns function. It shot without hiccup, it was just that it shot low ( 3 dot sights). No aftermarket sights available only other option was grinding the front post to a nub + bad grip angle for me. Happy i traded in and pain a couple hundred on top on a glock 19 for carry. Glad i did.

worst i've owned was the diamondback db 9. Pos never cycled right. I sent it back to diamondback twice and all they managed to accomplish was to make the trigger worse. I traded it at a gunshow for a gen 2 glock 19.

Nasty recoil that beats up my trigger finger. Inaccurate. Hard to hold with large hands. Nonexistent sights. Way too many failures--but I was told that "keep shooting it, it will get better." Elsie pea forum told me to get different recoil springs to keep the ejected brass out of my face. Didn't work. Got some Hogue grips for it, didn't help. I spend bodyguard money to turn a **** into a more expensive ****.

Whatever, this gun is crap.

It is super concealable, but not worth it since much better guns like the Bodyguard are just a BIT larger.

Imitation Walther PPK. I think it was made in Rusia. It looked cool but would jam at least once EVERY time I shot a magazine of rounds.....no matter what .380 ammo I tried to use it always jamed. Sold it at a gunshow for $300
